    Blue Spruce Toolworks

    This week I had a package droped off while I was at work. Having my dear mother answering the door was probably best for the postman, as I -- when glimpsing at the label -- would have snatched the box from him and ran to the shop to unwrap this much anticipated delivery. When I arived from work...

    Triton on rails

    No, not some kind of race or show. A Triton TSA001 on a set of guide rails, to be more precise an EZ smart guide rail. Why the heavy triton? Of the saws seen (over here) its the only one (except the very expensive Festool and Protool (closely related to Festool) saws) of which the blade angle...

    Jet JTS-250 CS

    I'm checking if I could swap some tools and storage space out to fit this saw in the shop. Does anybody know / can measure how long the rip fence rails are on this saw? And how much space there is left and right of the base? (yes I'm aware that there is a wheel) Much appreciated!

    Walko workbenches / worksupport

    Just back from our Dutch Yandles show, the Baptist Weekend show. Among the various manufactures present there was Walko which particular caught my attention. Their product seem very versatile and compatative with some of the EurekaZone products. I'm very impressed with the versatility and...

    Handheld circular saw

    I'm most probably in the market for a new hand held cs to combine it with the EZ smart guide system (rails + square + ghandle + maybe bridge). My current saw is a Bosch. It has a pressed steel base and is total c**p. The base is not flat, the saw has about 1.2mm sideward play when the height...

    Thicknesser

    Although hand flattening and thicknessing is doable and even fun for the first board, the thicknessing kinda gets tedious after a while, especially getting the board faces parallel AND to a near exact thickness. Currently looking at the Jet JPM12 and JPM-13CSX. Both machines look weel do not...

    Grinding, a rant and the tormek

    Last week I had some days off and had finally some time to get some shop time for myself. I fitted the JET air filter to the ceiling, moved and reflattened my workbench and got out my lathe to practice freehand turning (I used to turn on a metal lathe and did some CNC work). Well let me say I'm...

    Framesaw blades

    I need to rip quite some lumber into planks / boards, instead of getting a bandsaw (I've not really the room for one, and they are quite expensive here with decent capacity). So I'm planning on making a framesaw. The only part is getting a blade for it. I've searched around for something but...

    I planed some wood, is this normal?

    I hand planed a piece of wood I'm going to use for some hadles. Its maxican rose wood or bocote cordia gerascanthus. The plane iron (of a stanley no 5) is sharpened with the DC tripple bevel method and angles as described on his excelent DVD and has been given a back bevel of 15 degrees...

    Planing wet wood

    This weekend I picked up about half a m3 of beech, some poplar and some oak for £ 47 (converted from euro) which I will have to dry myself. I have stickered it under the canopy in the garden. Anyway one of the shorter pieces had some of the bark and sapwood which was not in that good a...

    Workbench tooltray necessity aka structual solution

    Why do traditional workbenches have a tooltray? A necessary feature to have in able to be able to work with your tools? Or is it perhaps a solution for a cross grain joint that has the advantage of having a place to store your hand tools when they are shortly not used? This question came up...

    Combination plane spurs

    I have a couple of Stanley no 45 (including a near perfect type 1 and a type 3) in the shop for cleaning. But I'm missing 2 spurs and 1 screw and have no spares left. Anyone has a source for them, have some laying around or information on making them?

    Golden ratio

    After some little debate on using the golden ratio in the calculator thread I decided to make a little tutorial about designing a piece of furniture. The idea is to design a table with a table top of 25mm thickness about 160 by 200cm and 80cm high. The critical visuals measurements would be...
